After being shot last week while walking his dog, Ozzy Osbourne's former guitarist Jake E. Lee is home "recuperating" and offering up some insight into what happened the night of the attack.
Taking to Facebook, Lee explained that he and his doc Coco had "crossed paths with a couple of thieves" who were interested in a neighbor's motorcycle. When Lee confronted them, they each agreed to walk away, but obviously, "that didn't' work out." Read Jake's full statement below:
"Thank you again for all your concern. A quick update: back home recuperating. A big thanks to those at Sunrise Hospital for taking such good care of me. And some brief details about that night. Walking home from our walk Coco and I crossed paths with a couple of thieves. Dressed darkly, hoodies pulled down their faces and masks covering their mouths. Standing in a neighbor’s driveway checking out his motorcycle. There was a verbal confrontation which ended with an agreement that I would walk one way and they would walk the opposite. That didn’t work out. I’ll probably talk in more detail about it later but right now I can only comfortably do a little at a time. Let me look for another cute pic of Coco!"
After the shooting, in a statement to Fox News Digital, a rep for Lee said that the rocker was "fully conscious and doing well in an intensive care unit at a Las Vegas hospital. He is expected to fully recover."
